An Ode to (True) Friendship
A 100% human-written poem
What is a true friend?
It’s a big question.
If you know what I meant:
One deserving deep reflection.
Reciprocity is the key,
With no expectation of favours.
Giving mutually,
All out of care for each other.
A true friend reaches out
Because you’re on their mind.
With lots to chat about;
Together you share golden times.
A true friend is present
Through your ups and downs.
When you’re in a predicament,
They lift you from the ground.
They lend you an ear and back your dreams.
A friend respects your views and ideas,
No matter how silly they seem.
Kindness and trust a true friend offers.
True friendship can thrive
If boundaries are strong.
Together, living your own life
Keeps a friendship long.
Old friendships are mellow wines.
Yet, spoilage might be their fate
Without your effort and time.
May our friendship thrive till the last of our days.
